Christ the King It seems that in a blink the term has reached its end here at Christ the King Catholic School. Of course, this brings with it all of the festivities of the forthcoming season and the school hall has been filled with the melodies and harmonies of our children singing Advent hymns and preparing for performances in the final week of term. Our eldest pupils were able to demonstrate our focus value of ‘respect’ when they joined the Mayor of Amesbury for the Town’s annual Carol Concert. Our children in Willow, Maple and Hazel Classes sang and signed using Makaton to make this a reflection of our truly inclusive school ethos, each receiving a well-earned chocolate treat from the Mayor in recognition of their efforts. Earlier in the term, children represented the school in the local Remembrance Parade, with other pupils getting to meet the Lieutenant of Wiltshire at the Centenary of our local Historic Landmark Antrobus House, which included a performance by the Queen’s Grenadier Guards: although the rain stopped the guards’ parade, we still found time to visit Antrobus House on this special day and sing “Happy 100th Birthday!”. Speaking of wind and rain…the weather has really tested our commitment to outdoor learning with children being far less bothered by the elements than anticipated and truly enjoying the autumn months for all their squelchy, muddy goodness! Our pupils have enjoyed local visits to the History Centre whilst Advent has helped us to reflect on our faith, finding more time to pray and spiritually prepare.
